The law is cut and dry on that. If they can't stop in time, they were too close. It's a very basic law and it's on your side!

I remember hearing on the news awhile back how some people were abusing the concreteness of the law.
People in SUV's (for safety, I'm assuming) would swerve in front of big rigs on the highway and slam on their brake. Obviously, big rigs can't slow down very fast so they rear-ended the crooks in front of them. Since courts almost unanimously decide if favor of those rear-ended, the truckers had to pay.
Generally, rear-end accidents are caused by tailgaiting...but I wouldn't say it's cut and dry.
